"Kristina, you just said you'd do anything, right?"

"Yes, yes. Yes, I did. But I don't want to be asked to die here or anything like that.

"I wouldn't say that. I'm not going to say that. I'm going to ask you to do me a favor. If you do that, maybe I can help you think about what you have here.

"Really?　Okay. Tell me, Mr. Alphonse.

　The Barka Mercenaries, who destroyed the bandits in no time.

　The one who holds them together is the boy who stands between my eyes right now, Alphonse.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He is small.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He really is just a cute little boy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And yet he's so strong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He fights without flinching at all against the bandits with their special weapons and overwhelms them.

　She moved so fast that I couldn't understand what she was doing, but still I knew that her strength was not just about her power.

　I think it is largely due to the skills they have acquired through a solid education.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was clearly different from his opponent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since I met Mr. Alphonse, I have been able to talk with him on the move, but there are still many things I don't understand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What is this boy?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mountains called "sacred peaks" that can never be crossed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They say he comes from a land beyond the sacred mountain, and his own brother is the king there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　According to an old legend, the sacred mountain is both the mountain where God lives and the mountain of death.

　And even now, there are terrible demons living on the other side.

　To the brother of the king of such an evil land, I said, "I'll do anything.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Are you okay?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I know I've said some terrible things, but I can't stop now.

　Besides, my merchant instincts are kicking in.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I should keep in touch with this girl.

"Then you'll be my exclusive from now on, Kristina."

"...... What?　Exclusive?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. The Barka Mercenaries, that's me, Elvis, and Ian, right?　It's still small, but I think we can probably do reasonably well in terms of strength. But I'm a little worried about running it as a mercenary group. That's why I was wondering if you, Christina, a merchant, could help us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"How can I help you, Mr. Alphonse?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Come with us. And we'll give you food and equipment and clothes and stuff. It would be great if you could stock up on supplies like that as cheaply as possible. You know, our mercenaries can't read or write at all. I wanted someone in charge of that kind of thing. I think that Christina, the merchant, would be better suited to do that than Sura and Ai. Is that a bad idea?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'll do it. I'll do it, Mr. Alphonse. Let me do it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　How could I refuse?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When Alphonse asked me for a favor, I immediately agreed.

　A mercenary company of mercenaries, but the exclusive merchant of a boy of special blood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I would never have the opportunity to serve in such a role again as a mere merchant who travels to the foot of the mountain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I couldn't let this opportunity pass me by.

"Oh, thank goodness. I was advised by my brother Ars as well. Be friends with the merchants. I'm glad you found someone like Uncle Trion who you can trust to take care of your money."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Is this Mr. Trion a merchant?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"He used to be a peddler. I met my brother Ars and now I'm in charge of finances in the Kingdom of the Sky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's great. It's a great thing for a peddler to be involved in the affairs of the kingdom, but to have the king's trust in you! I understand, Mr. Alphonse. I'll be a partner who can be as trustworthy as him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Really?　That makes me happy. I'll be counting on that, Kristina. Well then, let's get this stuff out of here. All of you, gather everything you can find in this bandit base here.

　Invite peddlers into the heart of the country.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder if such a king really exists.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But when I turned my eyes to the side of Mr. Alphonse, I saw Mr. Elvis.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have heard that he used to be a farmer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was Soula who told me this story, and I am sure that she had heard it from him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even though he was a farmer, he joined the army and won the trust of the king, which led him to be in charge of the flying castle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Combining this story with the peddler's story, I think that the king Ars looks at people more than his family background.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is important, of course, that the person has the ability.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But perhaps more important, he likes a person who "never betrays".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He is appointed as an executive because he is absolutely loyal to the king and never betrays him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And perhaps the same is true for you, Alphonse.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't think he trusts me yet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm a convenient partner who can be cut off at any time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But he must have thought that he could gain something by bringing me, a merchant who has his own clients, into his circle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is a once-in-a-lifetime venture.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have no idea what will happen to this group of mercenaries in the future.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, there is a good possibility that it will grow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Like this little leader, I feel that he has the potential to grow in the years to come.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I will do whatever it takes to win his trust and work to make this mercenary group bigger.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am sure that if I do so, a future will await me that I have never thought possible in my life so far.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My heart was pounding even more than when I escaped for my life after being attacked by bandits.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll do my best. I will definitely live up to your trust, Alphonse, you can count on me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I told Mr. Alphonse this as I thought about the future.
